About The Who

The Who was formed in London in 1964. The Who is considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century and they have sold over 100 million records worldwide. The band consists of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist and singer Pete Townshend, bass guitarist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon.

The band’s music is primarily inspired by American rhythm and blues, but they took a bold step to define a very different British rock vernacular in the 1960s. Here are a few interesting facts about The Who:

They performed under the names The Detours and The High Numbers before deciding on the name “The Who”.

In 1976, the concert show in London by the band “The Who” was so loud that a Guinness World record was created.

Keith Moon’s favourite sport during his school years was boxing.

Every hit single of the band “The Who” was written by Pete Townsend except one: Summertime Blues, which was written by Eddie Cochran.

Pete Townshend coined the phrase “Power Pop” in 1967. The phrase is used to describe the sixties singles that The Who released.
